Hi,

Some time ago I started the process of adapting my WSS armies from a POW pattern (that is, 3-stand battalions with 3 figures each stand) to the Beneath the Lily Banners one --for this was the ruleset my gaming mates and I had chosen for wargaming our Defiant Principality WSS what-if Nation.

I opted for not rebasing but to use my current POW stands as 'half BLB stands', so that I'd only have to double each unit's size by adding three supplementary stands to those three already existing.

Most of my infantry units have already been modified this way, and this one is my latest addition to the lot. This is Santa Eulàlia IR, one of the units hurriedly raised by the Catalan Commons to face the expectable Two Crowns offensive after the July 1713 Imperial retreat from Catalonian soil.

Unlike the rest of my Austro-Catalan regiments, that are basically built from Dixon figures, this time I gave a chance to a bunch of miniatures from Essex that have come to form the unit's second line --while first line is made from ah heterogeneous mix of Dixon, Roundway, Minifigs and Essex again.

Here below you can see such added second line --all Essex as said, except for the leftmost one, a Black Hat figure depicted as a sergeant.

As for flags, I chose to keep my previous schema of showing just the Regimental colors and not those of King's own --despite the battalion newly increased size would allow so. Flag is printed with a domestic printer on normal A4 paper, folded and glued on a wire serving as staff, and afterwards slightly touched up by brush to mask edges and eventual printer imperfections.

Perhaps not any master pro piece, but I'm quite happy with them grin

Wonderful. I am torn as to what scale to fashion my imaginations armies, so I have done nothing.

Very nice, nice uniform combination, the blue and yellow are great.
